Chapter 237 Does our family have savings?

Hu Meili was just bragging at the beginning and didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath at all.

Hu Meili is also a passionate person who can chat with anyone. No matter who asks, she will share her experience openly.

"My child reads for two hours every day..."

"When you encounter a question you don't know how to answer, just copy it a dozen or twenty times..."

These are all the learning methods that Hu Meili thinks are useful. After all, she doesn't dare to cheat other people's children.

No one would believe Lin Xiangnan's study method of sleeping, shopping and roaming all day if he told others about it.

Not as reliable as what she made up.

But Hu Meili's brain was not as good as Lin Xiangnan's, and she couldn't remember what was said.

Every time I improvise, and what I say is a little different each time.

"When are we going back to the military family compound? We've been back for so long. I'm a little bored of staying in my hometown." On the third day of the first lunar month, Hu Meili began to urge.

If you keep blowing, she won't be able to contain herself and reveal the truth.

Lin Xiangnan said quietly, "I don't want to go back so early. People in the family compound who have children want to force their children on me as students. I'm annoyed too!"

People in his hometown only know that Lin Xiangnan and his two siblings did well in exams, but they don’t know that Lin Xiangnan is a good teacher.

Everyone who wanted to know how to study went to Hu Meili.

With such good grades in the exam, the family will definitely be in the spotlight. Lin Xiangnan has suffered losses from being in the spotlight before, so this time he consciously gave the limelight to Hu Meili.

Every time someone asked him about it, Lin Xiangnan would say in all seriousness, "My mom is right. If it weren't for my mom's education, I would definitely not be able to get into Peking University..."

I would rather die than let my friend die.

Lin Xiangnan had a happy New Year, but Hu Meili was annoyed.

After two days of being so powerful, Hu Meili couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run away.

"Why don't you take the kids back to the military family compound first. Gu Zhenhua and I will go to Beijing." Lin Xiangnan said, "I want to buy a house in Beijing and settle down there."

"Why are you going to Beijing to buy a house?" Hu Meili looked confused.

"Aren't there houses in the staff quarters? You go to school for four years and then you have to go back to work after graduation. Isn't that a waste of time? And a waste of money."

Housing is so tight nowadays that it is unrealistic to buy a house and then leave it empty.

As for Lin Xiangnan's house in his hometown, because it is often empty, people on the street come to inquire and suggest that the Lin family rent it out.

The people in the street want to arrange a place for the house she lives in every year, but they can't leave the truly idle houses alone.

The market has not been fully opened up yet. In the minds of Hu Meili and others, one house is enough, and any more will be troublesome.

Besides, when it comes to houses, it’s better for the company to allocate them.

The yard in the family compound was allocated by the unit. As long as Gu Zhenhua is still in the army, Lin Xiangnan can live there forever.

If Gu Zhenhua changes jobs or retires, given his future rank, the company will not be short of housing for him. Even if Gu Zhenhua has an accident, Lin Xiangnan is not bad either. As a technical backbone of the department, she will also be able to get a share of the future housing distribution.

"People who already have houses won't consider housing allocation from their companies." Hu Meili said earnestly, "You are living in a staff housing complex now, but who can tell what will happen in the future? Listen to me, you can live in the dormitory and not buy a house, and you can save a lot of money."

"I'm not short of money, why should I save money? I don't want to live in a dormitory. It's more convenient to have a house. You can also bring the children to Beijing to see me."

Lin Xiangnan smiled and coaxed: "At worst, I can sell the house after I graduate, it won't be a loss."

"You just don't have money." Hu Meili said speechlessly: "There is only more than 200 yuan in the passbook, and you want to spend the money."

Lin Xiangnan said confidently: "Money is meant to be spent. What is put in the passbook is just a string of numbers, not money."

"Buying and selling. It's troublesome."

"I'm not afraid of trouble."

Although Hu Meili despised it, in her eyes, the house, like a bicycle and a watch, was a legitimate asset, so she did not try to stop him.

Anyway, as long as the money is not spent on food and drink, it's fine.

Lin Xiangnan has become rich in the past two years, and his personality has become more and more pretentious. In order to live well during college, he bought a house specially. Hu Meili actually thought it was quite normal.

"Okay, you go with Gu Zhenhua. I'll go back to the family compound, and when the storm is over, I'll go back to my hometown." Hu Meili said compromisingly.

After thinking for a while, Hu Meili added: "If you like the house but don't have enough money, I can lend you 600 yuan. I can't lend you more than that."

After talking about borrowing money, Hu Meili felt distressed again, "But I still suggest you buy a small house. It's no use buying a too big one."

"So do you want to lend me money or not?" Lin Xiangnan asked curiously.

Hu Meili's face fell, "I don't want to borrow it. But you insist on borrowing it from me, so I can't help it."

"Oh~~~" Lin Xiangnan nodded in understanding, then reached out, "Mom, lend me some money."

Hu Meili's expression was not very pretty.

One or two hundred dollars is enough to buy one or two rooms.

Or you can buy a jointly built house like the Lin family's. It's fine if it's just one family living in it, as the kitchen and bathroom are shared. But it would be inconvenient if there were more than one person living in it.

Or you can only buy a house in a slum, which is even more inconvenient to live in.

With this little money, don't even think about buying a big yard or building your own house. Not to mention whether you can get the land, just buying bricks and stones for the foundation is not enough. Otherwise, the Lin family would not have built it together with the Hu family, mainly to share the cost of laying the foundation.

How could Lin Xiangnan spend only one or two hundred dollars to buy a house? Her budget was 200 million.

She has spent all the money in the mall over the years, but has not even spent a fraction of it. Now that she can spend money after the reform and opening up, she has no intention of being frugal.

After beating up the guy at Gu's house before leaving, Lin Xiangnan took Gu Zhenhua and headed straight to Beijing.

Lin Xiangnan had the notification letter and Gu Zhenhua had an identity certificate, so the two of them checked into the guesthouse smoothly.

"I will go find my former comrades-in-arms and ask them to help me find out if there is a suitable house." Gu Zhenhua said proactively.

"No need. It will trouble others too much. I can just go to the Housing Management Office and find someone." Lin Xiangnan declined.

She is rich, but she doesn't want to show off her wealth. She can let strangers know her financial resources, but not acquaintances.

By using two kilograms of sugar, Lin Xiangnan established a relationship with an older lady from the Housing Management Office.

"Sister Chen, is there a small yard close to the school? As long as I like it, price is not a problem." Lin Xiangnan hinted: "If this deal is done, your grandson's milk powder will not be a problem."

The staff nowadays are not corrupt enough to accept money blatantly, but gifts are still acceptable.

Gu Zhenhua was acting together with Lin Xiangnan. When he heard that price was not an issue, his heart trembled.

When no one was around, he quietly asked, "Wife, how much money do we have now?"

Gu Zhenhua never touched the monthly salary, but judging from the speed at which Lin Xiangnan spent money, it was clear that the family probably didn't have much savings.

As a result, Lin Xiangnan just opened his mouth and bought the yard directly.

"I don't have many acquaintances here, so it's not very convenient to borrow money." Gu Zhenhua said, "People in the family compound have money, so it's easier to borrow money..."

"We have money at home. We have two to three thousand in savings." Lin Xiangnan interrupted Gu Zhenhua's plan to borrow money.

Gu Zhenhua was shocked. "Two or three thousand? We have two or three thousand in savings? Impossible? How can we have that much money?"
